Perhaps these were difficult to work with Pamela, but look what you've created! I love this piece, and love that it's set on a river. I could see the afternoon light dancing across Matisse paintings. The ending is strong. That bridge to calmness and buildings crumbling. Well executed wordle!~Brenda

And I agree with Mary, a bridge to calmness sounds really good right now. I really like what you did with the wordle words, they disappear into the images and flow of the poem itself, and that's good writing. I like the ending, it leaves one with questioning thoughts,

Pam Ma'am,Chugging along a river is a better option certainly. One gets uninterrupted visual pleasure unlike on the road. Crumbling buildings of concrete jungles was a contrast to the restoration works on the Statue of Liberty. In late '80s when we cruised along the NY harbour she was shrouded in scaffoldings undergoing a 'facelift' that took many years.

Btw Ma'am, I'm ok. Not around recently owing to some hardware hiccups now restored as well. A lot of catching up to do though.Thanks a lot!

Pamela, love this! The stanzas are so well-written. I like how you open with "no rural landscape", as if the speaker has left a rural place for an urban environment, which has art and architecture, but not calmness and tranquility.

Pamela...nicely done! I like the contrast of imagery with the mention of no rural landscape. My minds eye could see the scene immediately. It's fun to read wordle poems...so many familiar words, but each post tells its own tale. Here's mine: SURRENDER. ~Paula
